DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Rejoice Always

Loving Lord,
While we are accustomed to rejoicing when the situation warrants it, you call us to extend it well beyond that – to always rejoice! This is a tall order, for we tend to attach our feelings to our circumstances. When things are going well, we have a positive and cheery disposition; when they aren’t, we sour and sulk. Help us detach our emotional and spiritual well-being from whatever is happening in the present in our lives and lead us instead to take to heart the truth that your return is nearer today than ever. Allow that reality to be the source of our rejoicing, enabling us to weather the ever-changing ups and downs in life. Lead us continually to your love, where we find countless reasons to rejoice. Always.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

We crave affirmation. A child obeys his father in an effort to receive it. An employee works hard for her boss to receive it. Do we live for the Lord for the same reason, or is there more to it? This is the fifth sermon of a six-week series, Knowing –> Loving –> Living.

“Live for the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 sermon), was preached at Shepherd of the Hills Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS) on Sunday, February 16, 2020.

Living for God depends on knowing him better. In addition to knowing our Savior as the Lamb and the Light, we also rightly call him Lord. But… do we even know what that title means? Do we really know what we’re saying when we call him our Lord? This is the third sermon of a six-week series, Knowing –> Loving –> Living.

“The LORD” (Micah 6:1-8 sermon), was preached at Shepherd of the Hills Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS) on Sunday, February 2, 2020.
